description
Lilium kelloggii reaches a height of between 50 cm and 120 cm. The onions are round and up to 7.5 cm in size. They are unsegmented and train stolons .
The stem is smooth and straight. The leaves are lanceolate, about 0.9 to 4.4 cm wide and six to sixteen cm long and arranged in two to seven whorls of three to 22 leaves. The leaves become limp towards the tip and are therefore bent downwards.
The plant blooms from June to July with five to thirty in a large panicle , often obliquely with a downwardly curved tip, Turkish collar-shaped flowers. The hermaphrodite flowers are threefold. The six petals are designed in the same way ( tepals ). The color of the flowers is ivory white to pink when they open, but then darkens to mauve or pink. They are dense purple mottled in the middle. Each flower contains three carpels and six stamens. The anthers are brown, the filaments green, and the pollen orange. The seeds ripen in oval 2.9 cm to 5.7 cm bolls from.
The species is mainly pollinated by butterflies from the knight butterfly family . Mainly Papilio rutulus and Papilio eurymedon do this .
distribution
